About Me

I am a Filipina who is currently residing here in Texas. I am a Christian with a strong faith in the Lord. I am what I am by the grace and mercy of God, a sinner saved by grace and without God I am nothing. I have simple dreams in life, just to live peacefully, happily as I worship and serve the Lord. I love God above all and despite many trials in life God is always there to carry me through. I love the beach, sightseeing, nature tripping, gardening... I just love and appreciate the beauty of God's wonderful creation. Jesus Christ is my Creator, Lord and Savior of my life. I don't have riches in this world but as long as I have Jesus in my life then I have everything.

White Beans With Malunggay

Hubby and I love beans like pinto, mung beans, navy beans, white and black beans. He said he grew up with beans and potatoes and I grew up with beans and rice, lol! What a pair! Both of us are not so picky with foods as long as it's not spaghetti for him and not pork for me. I used to like pork but I gave up eating it six years ago due to health issues. I prefer healthy foods for me and hubby.

I cooked this white beans with malunggay a few days ago. I always love to add veggies with my beans. If malunggay is not available then I add ampalaya (bitter gourd) and since I don't eat pork, I added ground beef instead.

Here's my recipe:

Ingredients:

1 pack white beans (soaked overnight)

1/2 lbs ground beef

2 medium onions (sliced)

4 cloves garlic (minced)

ginger (crushed and sliced)

fish sauce

salt

1 bunch of malunggay

water

Directions:

1. In a frying pan, put oil and saute the garlic and onions. Add the ground beef, fish sauce and cook until brown. Remove from fire.

2. Put the beans in a pressure cooker with water and salt. Add the beef, ginger and cook for 40 minutes. If you don't have a pressure cooker, use regular pot but cook it longer around 1 and 1/2 hours or until soft.

3. Add the malunggay and add more water if needed. Add fish sauce depending on your taste. Cook for another 5 minutes. Serve with rice.
